The Inventory #1
Iron Fist
The Rules: if you find a secret inventory of utterly deadly battle tech. 1) Do not try it. 2) Do not tell anyone. 3) Do NOT let thieves in behind you. What’s more secret than top-secret? The Inventory. Home to the deadliest inventions the world isn’t ready for. Invisible camouflage. HoverBoots. Indestructible metals. Plus a giant creature of chaos: war robot Iron Fist. No one has ever broken past the state-of-the-art AI security system. (Seriously, most bad guys have no idea this stuff is even there.) Problem 1: the security robot wasn’t ready for a gang of kids wandering in. Problem 2: they’ve ONLY brought the ruthless Shadow Helix gang in behind them. Seriously dumb, but it’s a bit late for ‘sorry’. Say hello to trouble: the Iron Fist is in the wrong hands!

Iron Fist is a book that somehow slipped past my radar when it was published, and it wasn't until I was asked to take part in the blog tour for the latest installment to this series that it really got on my radar. I really enjoy books with gadgets, and crazy inventions, and technical wizardry, so it was easy for me to say yes for the series so far. Iron Fist is a book that drew me in immediately, I loved the mystery and suspense surrounding the plot itself, but also the protagonist and how easy it was to relate to them.
Dev lives at the Inventory with his uncle. They are keepers of the secret storage unit for thousands of gadgets that were banned, deemed too unsafe, or unsuitable for public knowledge. But for Dev the inventory is his playground, and whilst he may not get on well with his uncle, he has no problem entertaining himself with things he finds on the shelves. We get to see his personality shine through quite early in the pages, and it's definitely an hilarious moment.
Unbeknownst to Dev and his uncle Charles, the Collector, an operative in Shadow Helix, has his eyes set on Iron Fist, and is willing to pull out all the stops to get what he wants, even if that means invading the Inventory. Dev and Charles soon find themselves under attack, and with Devs' frenemies Lot and Mason caught in the cross hairs, they must do whatever they can to stop the Collector.
Iron Fist doesn't have a big location, in fact the book itself is mostly set in the Inventory itself, but with everything that goes on within the pages the world feels a lot bigger. I liked that we get to see some of the inventions in action, or get a great description of others. I enjoyed the flow of the story, and not only was I kept guessing but also surprised with a few revelations that I did not expect. I liked seeing the friendship between Lot, Mase, and Dev form, and they may not be the best of friends but its a friendship formed out of necessity rather than want.
Final Verdict
Iron Fist was a book I finished relativity quickly, and I'm excited to see where it all goes from here. The characters and the world already feel like a small part of home to me and I can't wait to dive into the next book.

"Anyway I thought you were afraid of heights?" said his uncle
Dev shrugged. "I wasn't planning on going very high. Just y'know, fast. I'm not afraid of fast."

Three and a half stars from me!
First of all, many thanks to the lovely Faye for organising this blog tour and asking me to be part of it and to Scholastic Press for providing me with a copy of The Inventory: Iron Fist in exchange for an honest review. I’m really enjoying the amount of high class middle grade fiction that is out there at the moment and The Inventory is another fine example of an exciting story that will capture the imagination of younger readers all over the world.
Our unlikely hero and main character is Devon (or Dev as he prefers to be known) who hasn’t had the most conventional of upbringings and doesn’t have the most “normal” of homes. As far back as he can remember, Dev has lived with his uncle Charles Parker on a farm where strict rules and regulations are of the highest importance. You see, it isn’t an ordinary farm that Dev lives on – the sheep that live outside are actually robotic and a necessary cover for a huge underground system, The Inventory that stores the most amazing inventions that the world has ever known.
Imagine things like Hover Boots, black holes (makes escaping from risky situations a lot easier, you know?) x ray glasses, cars that run on air and then your more deadly weapons that have the potential to obliterate your enemy into mere particles. Each invention is placed in a certain zone depending on how dangerous they are, for example, The Red Zone houses the most lethal equipment which also has the maximum security surrounding it. Dev has access to a few zones by means of a special hand scan but even he does not have access to things in The Red Zone. The World Consortium which oversees the top secret Inventory has decided that all of these inventions are things that the world is not ready for or that they could be used for evil/threatening purposes. I mean, can you imagine actual X ray glasses or even worse, a deadly weapon in the wrong hands – it doesn’t bear thinking about?!
Dev’s uncle is the guardian of the Inventory along with his top class security system, a female robot called Eema. However, security can always be breached when you get a persistent individual like The Collector, who is determined to own a very special invention housed in The Red Zone, known only as The Iron Fist. When his ruthless gang of Shadow Helix soldiers manage to penetrate the facility, they are not prepared to face Dev and a couple of his school friends who although trapped there by mistake, will stop at nothing to protect his uncle and the Iron Fist from getting into the wrong and very unpredictable hands.
As I mentioned before, this is a really exciting story and it was a pleasure to read it. It’s a fast-paced adventure that will appeal to a number of children as the vivid imagination of the author and the thrilling nature of the inventions means that there’s never a dull moment. I found it very easy to tear through this story and was pleasantly surprised by the number of twists and turns that the narrative took – I certainly never anticipated that Dev was going to be a character who is so much more than what he originally seems….say no more! I was also happy that the finale of the book was quite open-ended, hopefully that means we are going to hear much more from Dev and The Inventory in future books and I look forward to the next in the series.

The Inventory Iron Fist is one of my most enjoyed books, it is a futuristic science fiction book about the adventures of a boy with a secret, a big secret.
This first book is about how “Dev” has to protect the inventory from invaders.
The inventory is a large collection of inventions that were banned from the public to use and may be generations ahead of the time.
I love this book because it consists of many creative inventions that sound cool and the ideas that Dev comes up with to escape his invaders, this makes the book really exciting as it it action packed and has a lot of plot twists.
—SPOILER ALERT—-SPOILER ALERT—-SPOILER ALERT—-SPOILER ALERT—-
For instance I love how the ending has the main character Dev being the super weapon “Iron Fist” because he can take any inventions out or in from the inventory and ends up not being a real boy... He is a clone.
This makes the reader feel great sympathy for the character as he thought he was alive but has come to the cold. Hard facts that he is a weapon, a machine.
I would recommend this book to everyone because it really has an interesting plot with the characters escaping and being caught over and over again but overall the book has a good vocabulary and contains many fantasy inventions that young or old will both enjoy.

I try to avoid awarding a score of 1 to any book, but couldn't quite manage a 2 on this one. It's not a bad idea, reminiscent in some ways of 'Warehouse 13' but it's told in a very pedestrian way, suffers from many mistakes in English, and has rather flat characters. I don't feel an urge to seek out the further volumes.

Dev lives with his uncle, Charlie Parker, in The Inventory, a secret facility filled with mind-blowing inventions and technology confiscated by the government. His uncle is the curator and won’t allow him to touch anything!
During an unexpected visit by two of his classmates, The Inventory comes under attack by a villainous criminal called The Collector. Dev, Lot and Mason need to decide how far they will go to stop him from stealing a dangerous weapon.
As the story unfolds, we see Dev’s character develop from being a bored, rebellious, thrill seeking boy to the self-designated protector of The Inventory.
The characters are well developed such as strict Uncle Charles, the evil Collector, Mason the bully and the curious Lot. Unlikely friendships are forged as the three of them are forced to fight for their lives.
This story has it all and is fraught with danger whilst exploring themes of betrayal, science fiction, technology, friendship and adventure.
The best part is there is a sequel to look forward to so this isn’t the end of Dev’s adventures!

This is a good book, some of the executions in terms of the premise seemed far more that the normal middle grade. There were only really specific times this book made me annoyed, hence the four star rating.
I'll probably end up getting the second book out of the library rather than buying it straight out.

High action, fast paced narrative. Lots of twists and turns.

Meinung:
Das Äußere von "Inventory: Tresor der gefährlichen Erfindungen" ist absolut gelungen und wirkt mit seinem 'technischen' Metalliceffekt anziehend auf die männliche Zielgruppe - ein Versprechen, das auch das Innere des Buches hält.
Dev(on) lebt mit seinem Onkel Charles in einer geheimen Basis des Weltkonsortiums, das Inventory genannt wird. Hier lagern alle Gegenstände, für die die Welt noch nicht bereit ist. Doch Dev ist es natürlich nicht erlaubt, mit den teils ultragefährlichen Gegenständen zu spielen.
Doch die Geheimhaltung der Basis macht aus ihm einen Einzelgänger. Er hat keine Freunde in der Schule und wird von einem Mitschüler, Mason, gemobbt. Umso erfreuter war er, dass Lot, ein intelligentes Mädchen, Dev zu einer Party einlädt. Doch dort gerät Dev wieder einmal in einen Streit mit Mason.
Als Lot und Mason beim Inventory - bzw. bei der Ranch, der Tarnung, in der Dev mit seinem Onkel lebt - ankommen, passiert es: Das Inventory wird wieder einmal überfallen - nur scheinen die Angreifer dieses Mal zu wissen, wie sie das Sicherheitssystem überlisten.
"Inventory" wird alterstypisch von einer dritten Person aus vielen verschiedenen Perspektiven erzählt, sodass man gleichzeitig den Protagonisten Dev, sowie auch den Antagonisten und weitere Blickwinkel im Auge hat. Für die jüngere Leserschaft ist dieser Überblick sehr von Vorteil, doch auch ich - jenseits des direkt angesprochenen Publikums - war dem Helden des Buches niemals einen Schritt voraus, damit es nicht langweilig wird.
In zum hochtechnisierten Inhalt passender kühler Sprache schildert Andy Briggs die Geschichte rund um das Inventory. So gerieten natürlich Emotionen etwas zu kurz, was aber kaum störte. Denn das Buch ist eindeutig auf Spannung und Action angelegt - neben der vielen fantastischen Erfindungen, die in jedem der kurz gehaltenen Kapitel auftauchen. So entsteht auch ohne emotionale Bindung ein Lesesog und man fiebert mit den Figuren mit.
Die Entwicklung dieser ist ebenfalls deutlich spürbar. Mitunter hat der Autor hier Wendungen eingebaut, die ich so nicht erwartet hätte - das Zielpublikum dürfte ebenso überrumpelt sein.
Action steht an wirklich erster Stelle. Man wird durch das Buch gehetzt, getrieben, die kurzen Kapitel schüren diesen Eindruck noch und es kommt so gut wie nie Langweile auf. Im Showdown setzt Andy Briggs dann noch auf das Auflösen von Geheimnissen und Überraschungen, sodass man den ersten Band der Reihe beruhigt zur Seite legen kann - nicht ohne die drei jungen Helden zu feiern, die an diesem Buch gewachsen sind.
Urteil:
"Inventory - Tresor der gefährlichen Erfindungen" macht nicht nur optisch etwas her, sondern setzt auch im Inhalt die 'männliche' technisch-kühle Art des Covers fort. Spannung, Action und jede Menge Hightech machen das Buch jedoch auch für die weibliche Leserschaft zu einem gelungenen Abenteuer - es wird aber garantiert auch lesefaule Jungs überzeugen. 4 Bücher für den ersten Band der "Inventory"-Reihe.

Inhalt
Devs Leben war bisher eigentlich ziemlich langweilig. Zwar lagern in dem gigantischen Tresor unter der Farm, auf der er mit seinem Onkel lebt, die so ziemlich coolsten Erfindungen der Welt. Aber Dev darf niemandem vom Inventory erzählen. Da tauchen eines Tages zwei Schulkameraden auf und wenig später steht die Farm unter Beschuss. Dev, Mason und Lot fliehen ins Inventory. Mit HoverBoards, Atomisierern und anderer High-Tech ausgerüstet, bleibt den dreien nur wenig Zeit, die Verbrecher zu enttarnen und die mächtige Kriegswaffe namens Eisenfaust zu finden. Schon bald kämpfen sie um ihr Überleben. Denn sie sind die Einzigen, die verhindern können, dass die gefährlichen Erfindungen in die falschen Hände geraten.
Charaktere
Dev ist ein sehr fürsorglicher Junge. Er ist ein ziemlicher Nerd, was ihn sehr knuffig macht. Er ist ein totaler Technikliebhaber und ist auch sehr liebevoll. Des Weiteren ist Dev sehr beschützend und teilweise auch abweisend. Dev ist auch sehr clever.
Lot ist ein sehr schlaues und kreatives Mädchen. Sie ist auch sehr fürsorglich und beshützend. Lot ist auch sehr tapfer und erfinderisch. Lot ist auch sehr mutig und hilfsbereit.
Mason ist ein ziemlich eingebildeter Junge. Er ist sehr ängstlich und beeinflussbar. Des Weiteren ist Mason sehr unfreundlich und leicht fies. Aber Mason kann auch freundlich sein.
Meine Meinung
Der Schreibstil ist sehr locker und abwechslungsreich. Des Weiteren ist es sehr leicht und flüssig geschrieben. Das Buch ist sehr technisch angehaucht. Ich mag den Stil sehr gut und er passt einfach perfekt zur Geschichte. Die Geschichte ist spannend und mitreißend erzählt. Ich bin sehr schnell in meinen gewohnten Lesefluss gekommen und konnte das Buch in einem Rutsch genießen.
Zum Inhalt kann ich sagen, dass es sehr detailliert und gut beschrieben ist. Außerdem haben die Kapitel eine tolle Länge. Ich mag auch die gute und klare Abtrennung zwischen den Kapiteln. Des Weiteren sind die Ergänzungen sehr gut gewählt und das Buch vermittelt auch viel Allgemeinwissen.
Zum Autor
Andy Briggs hat alles Mögliche gemacht, bevor er herausgefunden hat, dass ihm Schreiben am besten gefällt. Wenn er nicht gerade an einem Drehbuch sitzt, schreibt er Romane und hat eine Menge Spaß dabei. Er lebt an einem geheimen Ort in Südostengland. Er behauptet, Superkräfte zu besitzen. Das mag ein bisschen übertrieben sein …
Empfehlung
Ich kann das Buch klar für Jungs ab 10 Jahren empfehlen. Auch ist das Buch gut für alle, die vor Technik nicht zurückschrecken. Der Schreibstil ist toll und ich kann euch das Buch nur ans Herz legen.
